Chapter 139
"Hey, brother."
"Are you alright, Robin?"
When the call connected, Sunday's caring words came through.
"It's okay, you know... it's nothing."
"Just explain it clearly."
Robin wasn't really upset; compared to the gossip surrounding Star Rail Universe, this was child's play.
"That's good, this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
Hearing that his sister was indeed unaffected, Sunday finally felt relieved and gave a calm but slightly frightening assurance.
The Honkai: Star Rail Universe family is powerful, but the company is also a behemoth, and often even on Sunday, they are powerless to do anything about it.
But in this universe, on this Earth that hasn't even entered interstellar civilization, if a younger sister has to suffer grievances just to become a star, then the older brother is just too useless.
"Huh? It's not that serious."
Having grasped the meaning of Sunday's words, the Robin hesitated and said that there was actually no need for that.
"Don't worry about this, I'll handle it. That's all for now."
Then he didn't say anything more and hung up the phone on Sunday.
"... I hope he's alright."
The Robin put down his phone and stared blankly into space.
The weather was perfect, neither too hot nor too cold.
Robin arrived at the company in a private van provided by Angel Entertainment.
Although it's just a subsidiary of Angel International, and the only real artist is a young girl, it's still quite large. The entire company has hundreds of employees, all dedicated to serving this Robin.
Public relations department, legal department... it has almost everything.
As they walked in, Robin was still a little surprised, even though she had expected this.
My brother's gesture was truly impressive.
Whether the company makes money or not is no longer important; the sole purpose is to take care of Robin and make her career path smoother.
However, it's also clear that being newly established, it's not yet very experienced in many aspects. That's alright, Angel Entertainment's strength lies in its substantial resources; aside from a few exceptional cases, it doesn't normally take any kind of capital too seriously.
"Miss Robin, this is the general plan. Do you have any questions?"
Inside the office, Robin's agent handed the girl a well-organized plan for the upcoming events and asked for her opinion.
For other artists, many schedules don't require their consent; they are all arranged and planned by their management company.
But the situation is different for the Robin; it's entirely up to her how she decides to act...
"That's fine, I don't think there's any problem."
After reviewing the agent's plans, Robin felt there were no problems, as most of them coincided with her own ideas.
First comes the debut album, then the singer stage, and finally, a solo concert when the time is right.
As for commercial performances and advertisements, the deep-pocketed Angel Entertainment hardly cares. They'll only consider commercial or public service advertisements that are truly helpful to Robin, and even then, it depends on whether the girl herself wants to accept them.
"In that case, I'll go find someone to help me arrange a song suitable for you, Miss Robin..."
Having gained the Robin's approval, the manager breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was an older artist, she couldn't treat this one the same way she treated other celebrities.
It would be best if there were no other opinions.
As for the album's songs, she plans to directly approach the most famous international artists, even if the price is high, it's not important.
After all, what she needed to consider wasn't whether she could make money, but whether it was suitable for the Robin.
"No need for that. I've already prepared the album songs."
"Actually, I came here today to record a song."
Upon hearing her agent's words, Robin took out the draft sheet music she had brought. It wasn't that she didn't believe in the abilities of the professional masters in this world, but before that, she wanted to bring these familiar songs to this world.
Besides, these songs aren't bad at all.
Especially with the effect of Harmony, it will resonate with even more people.
This is why a song of average quality can become a top-notch hit when sung by The Robin, and no matter how others cover The Robin's songs, they can never reach that level.
These are also the songs from the Robin show competitions that some singers and internet celebrities initially wanted to cover, but the results were all terrible.
The slightly Robin cover I remember was by a streamer named "Su Xiaoli" who was involved in some borderline content.
"This... Robin has already prepared it herself?"
The manager instinctively took the draft sheet music, which was quite unexpected, since even including the songs they had sung before, there were still several songs missing.
She's a little worried about the quality of the new song, which comes out so quickly.
After taking a closer look at the sheet music, she found that the quality of these new songs seemed to be quite good, no worse than Robin's previous ones, and some might even be better.
"In that case, I won't interfere any further."
"I'm also starting to look forward to your Robin."
She returned the song to the Robin, and her manager didn't force her to follow her own decision. Instead, he expressed his anticipation for her song.
She then mentioned that although the company was newly established, it had the best recording equipment and could meet any needs.
More importantly, these recording devices were almost exclusively for Robin's use, since she was the only singer in the entire company.
The Robin knew this, which is why it brought the song to record.
Although there are recording studios available for rent, the quality is uncertain.
Since the company has its own professionals, there's no need to rent from others.
Then, led by her assistant, Robin arrived at the company's recording equipment area, where the company's recording engineer had already arrived.
"Miss Robin, I'm a fan, can I get your autograph?"
When the recording engineer noticed Robin, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked over, looking very excited. He had been waiting for this moment ever since he learned that his company had signed Robin.
I'm so happy to be able to help Miss Robin record her song.
"Oh? Of course."
"But I didn't bring a pen..."
Robin the company even had its own fans, as people who do this kind of work should have a lot of contact with celebrities.
"I brought it."
Upon hearing this, he quickly took out the pen he had prepared and had the Robin sign his clothes.
After the Robin finished signing, he excitedly began to tell his story.
He had a severe headache for a while, and couldn't sleep at night. It was driving him crazy.
Taking medicine wasn't very effective.
My headache subsided after I heard the song of Robin.
"Miss Robin, you are truly like an angel descended from heaven, just as everyone says, your songs can heal pain."
Looking at the beautiful and kind-hearted Miss Robin in front of me, not only is her temperament and appearance as beautiful as an angel, but her singing voice is simply a blessing from an angel.
It wouldn't be surprising if they were real angels.
However, the Robin didn't really like this assessment.
"I am very happy that my singing can help you and relieve your pain."
"But I'm not an angel."
Angels are often used metaphorically, but they do exist in this world. It's just that they aren't described in the way depicted in myths and legends...
They're just alien creatures.
After chatting for a while, Robin handed the sheet music he had brought to the professional recording teacher, and then went into the recording studio alone.
Let's try to record them all completely in the shortest possible time.
The recording of the song went much more smoothly and quickly than I had imagined.
For the superstar Robin, there are countless similar experiences. If she hadn't been so determined to perfect her work and compared several versions of the song, she could have gotten it right in one take.
Compared to other singers, her professional skills are only more impressive.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
"Robin's new song is as excellent as ever!"
When Robin came out of the recording studio, many people were recovering from their immersive state and felt that listening to her sing live was even more powerful.
I was completely drawn into the world of emotions she wanted to convey through her song.
That feeling of regret and letting go of everything, that feeling of going from suppression to complete release, that feeling of extreme sadness.
Behind each song seems to lie a wonderful yet regrettable story, but the specifics remain unknown, making one want to find out, like a cat scratching at one's skin.
Thinking of this, those present couldn't help Robin about his idea.
This surprised the robin.
Can you really understand a song just by listening to it, even if you don't know the story behind it?
"Yes, there is a wonderful story behind every song."
The Robin nodded, confirming their question.
It is the story of a pure and innocent girl, as beautiful as a flower, and her companions; it is the story of a mortal enduring unimaginable pressure for five hundred years; it is a story destined to have no ending...
"I knew I was right! I really want to know what a wonderful story it is!"
There will be opportunities, but not now.
Big stars are more than just singers.
She also wants to explore the film and television industry, and if the opportunity arises, she would like to present some stories from Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai: Star Rail, and Genshin Impact in the form of a feature film.
Isn't this also a way to enhance one's reputation?
Moreover, these things are possible in this world; they are not entirely impossible.
However, these things are not urgent and can only be considered as things that happen later when there is time. For now, I am simply pursuing the path of music.
After all, this period of calm will not last long. Once the alien forces fully enter the fray, the situation will become unpredictable.
Although his Brother assured him that Earth would not be as chaotic as in the original story, but would instead become the foundation of the "family".
The existence of a "family" is necessary...
Or rather, even without the existence of the Harmony Family, the Choir of One of faith Order would still exist.
Only in this way can the brilliance of Harmony / Order be better spread throughout the universe.
The Robin still belongs to the Harmony, but in this universe, she has no intention of stopping her Brother chooses Order.
In this universe, "Order" is not some remnant or traitor that everyone hates.
In the adult world, there is no absolute right or wrong, only... whether it is useful to oneself.
"Well then, thank you all for your hard work."
Stopping overthinking, Robin checked the finished product again and, finding no problems herself, nodded in satisfaction.
The next step is to choose a suitable time to release your album.
Robin doesn't need to think about these things herself; her agent will handle it all and will announce it in advance on various platforms, making a large number of fans look forward to it.
Miss Robin has released a new song so quickly, much faster than expected, but... they just want more.
Chapter 8 Lord Sunday, the believers of Order await your guidance.
